Ugh, what does he want?I let my head fall back to the couch and let out a breath, preparing my nerves for him to inevitably get on them. “What?” I answer as soon as the call connects.
“Don’t answer the phone like that.”
“Like what?”
“That.Is that any way to talk to the man that made you come four times last night?”
“I’m hanging up.”
“Wait wait…Lauren, stop.”
“Stop what?”
“Being…yourself.”
I frown at the phone, pulling it away slightly when I note the time. “Are you drunk, Maddox?”
“No…well…yes.”
“Goodbye.”
“Wait! I want to talk to you?”
“People in hell want ice water, try again.”
“I didn’t mean to phrase that as a question.”
“I don’t give a fuck what you didn’t mean. I’m with my niece.”
“And I’m outside,” he responds instantly.
“What the fuck?” I crane my head towards the window as if I would be able to see if he was telling the truth. “Why?”
“Because I want to see you, obviously.”
“Weren’t you on a date? With…Darcy?” I hear the jealousy in my voice and I immediately chastise myself for being so obvious.
“I left the date early. I said I wasn’t feeling well.”
“Because you got drunk?”
“No, the drinking came later. I got pissed that you were fucking with my head…Jesus Lauren, can I come in? It’s cold as fuck out here.”
“How’d you get here?”
“Uber. Can we do this chit-chat inside? Preferably over whiskey?”
I bite my bottom lip and look down at the tiny person snuggled against me.
“You can’t be loud; Emma is sleeping in the living room.”
“Fine, just let me in. Please.”
“I’m not having sex with you while I’m babysitting,” I tell him firmly, although my pussy is already arguing with me about that. I can’t ignore the dull throb that’s been thumping between my legs ever since his name flashed across my screen.
I could have sworn I heard him say, “We’ll see about that,” just as I end the call. I pick Emma up from where we were on the floor, and tuck her into the couch, leaving the pillow fort just below, in case she decides to roll around. I move towards the door, but not before taking a quick look in the mirror. I fluff my hair once, before bending over to shake some body back into it. I flip my hair back over and run my tongue over my teeth and my lips to wet them.
